Dispatchers Celebrate Special Week

For the last 20 years, public safety agencies nationwide have recognized the pivotal role dispatchers play in providing support to emergency personnel.

For their efforts, the second week of April is dedicated to the men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators.

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office communication center celebrated this year’s National Telecommunicators Week, which ran from April 10 to 16, in honor of the dispatchers that handle several thousand calls each year.
